Not that comprehensive

Doesn’t go into enough detail on things covered on the exam. Particularly the scenario based questions, containers, etc. Good review for cloud practitioner exam though.

Not Enough

This book is a great start for those who know nothing about AWS services, and if it was marketed as a "starting point," I would have given it five stars. It says that it will give you "everything you need" to be ready for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect - Associate exam, which is not true. Use this book as your starting point to learn about AWS services, but don't expect to be able to pass the exam after reading/listening to it.

Great info, but no PDF as advertised

Provided great overview of the amazon services. It was a delightful listen as I comutef to work. However I cannot find the PDF file that was advertised when I purchased the book. Not having a PDL has been disappointing

Awesome way to prepare for the AWS exam

This is an outstanding toolkit for anyone navigating the maze of the AWS certification exam. This innovative pairing of an audiobook with a complementary PDF caters to a spectrum of learning preferences, making it a versatile study tool.

The audiobook component excellently conveys essential knowledge in a digestible manner, with the narrator's unambiguous language making even the trickiest concepts approachable. This is an ideal resource for those who learn through listening, or for those who want to optimize their study time during commutes or breaks. It's noteworthy how real-life scenarios and practical examples are employed to depict each idea, providing context and practicality that amplifies understanding.

On the other hand, the PDF guide strengthens this audio learning experience, furnishing detailed diagrams, charts, and succinct summaries that are visually engaging and information-rich. For learners who assimilate information through reading or visual stimuli, this guide consolidates the knowledge conveyed in the audiobook, deepening comprehension and recall. The harmonious blend of the audio and PDF elements not only amplifies learning but makes it an enjoyable experience.

Not suitable for study

This book is supposed to prepare you for the AWS Certified Solutions Architect exam. It does a poor job of this. Some of the sections don't give enough detail, and some of the info is just wrong. I thought I could just listen in the background as supplemental study material, but I found out it was hurting more than helping, so I ended up focusing more on my primary study materials instead.

I just passed the exam. It's not easy. You'll need high quality study materials to do a good job.

The narrator was very engaging. I wish he was working with better material.
